As a guy, I have never worried too much about bathroom noises. In fact, I support them.
Women, however, are another story. Before using the bathroom, my girlfriend often turns on the sink and shower while blasting Pavarotti. The only way to block out more noise would be to form a black hole somewhere near the hand towels.
Leave it to Japan, then, to solve a problem that no man has. Enter the Pee Without Noise Stool!
This one-of-a-kind product eliminates the “sit or stand” debate by presenting an awkward middle option – the halfway kneel. I guess the theory is that by dropping “Godzilla” very close to the water line, there is less distance to travel and thus a quieter splash. Fascinating.
My favorite part of the website is where they actually show this in practice. As you can see, everyone’s urinary tract is a teapot. Standing up causes a big splash, and sitting causes you to aim right and pee on the seat while displaying oddly Hebrew-like characters. Only the Pee Without Stool enables the silent stream. Happy Friday!
I really hope your gf approved this post otherwise I know one blogger sleeping on the couch this evening. Good thing its so large and comfy (that’s what she said). Leave it to Japan tho, what don’t they think of!
